    Responded to first-time cheekpieces when winning 8-runner handicap (6/4) at Pontefract (1¼m, good) last month and ran well when runner-up at Goodwood 2 weeks later. First-time blinkers go on and he's a very interesting runner for this yard.

    Gained reward for a string of solid efforts this year when winning 8-runner minor event at Killarney (1m, good) last month and backed up that effort just 8 days later when 3 lengths second of 17 to Loughrea in Irish Cambridgeshire here. The handicapper hasn't taken any chances.

    Verdict
    Shown plenty in 3 outings, runner-up on debut at Gowran before winning at Killarney and Cork, completing a straightforward task in latter of those. Should appreciate this longer trip and though he's difficult to assess from what we've so far seen, this opening mark may well underestimate him.

    Won sole juvenile start here on debut. Best effort when ½-length second of 16 to Lost Boys in Royal Ascot handicap in June. Not ideally placed when fourth in listed race at Gowran (1½m) following month. His Ascot form looks strong and is likely to have the race run to suit back at this trip.
